are plans in place to further enhance her already successful partnerships with other settings and schools that children attend.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder's quality of teaching is exemplary. She has high expectations of the progress that children can make. The childminder carefully follows children's lead and supports their interests, to develop their speaking and listening skills. For example, when bathing dolls, the childminder uses open questions to encourage children to talk about bath time at home. The childminder supports children to develop very good mathematical knowledge. During their play, children count, and recognise and match colours. The childminder ensures children have time and freedom to become deeply involved in activities. Parents are kept incredibly well informed through regular newsletters, detailed progress reviews and they have access to view all observations and assessments through a safe electronic system.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The indoor learning environment is highly motivating, attractive and well organised. Children know where to find their favourite toys and make many independent decisions about their play. Children are exceptionally happy and have very strong attachments with the childminder. The childminder very sensitively encourages children to value and respect each other. They talk about their families and experiences, and learn more about other people's lives. For example, the children regularly visit a nursing home. Children show fantastic concentration and excellent focus, for example, when playing a memory game to identify which object has been removed. Children understand the rules and boundaries in place and they delight in the praise and encouragement they receive from the childminder for their achievements.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children learn to be sociable and friendly with other adults and children and to share and take turns during their play. They are highly confident and show excellent levels of independence for their ages.
